Audio/visual unsynchronised
When Mississip offers a toast in the hotel room, he lists a string of places the Japanese could have as far as he is concerned. Guadalcanal, the second place on the list, is dubbed in and does not match the actor's lips.

Character error
When asked if he has orders to go to San Francisco, Cary Grant states "Would I ever go A-W-O-L?" AWOL (Absent With-Out Leave) is an Army term. A Navy man would say "U-A" (Unauthorized Absence).

Continuity
Although set in 1944, when Andy Crewson and Gwinneth Livingston are on the cable car, you can see vehicles in the background through the window which are obvious early '50s models. When the cable car stops to allow passengers to disembark, there is a 1952 Pontiac on screen throughout the stop.
